Prince Harry's paternity has been the subject of speculation for years, with DNA tests previously failing to conclusively prove or disprove the claims surrounding his biological father.
However, a recent and shocking development may finally shed light on this long-standing mystery. About a month ago, retired American singer and musician David Foster, now living in California, came forward with a startling revelation. Foster claims that during the mid-1980s, he had a brief but intense affair with Diana, Princess of Wales. At that time, Diana's marriage to Prince Charles was widely known to be deeply troubled.
According to Foster, their affair began after a chance meeting in a recording studio in London, where they connected both musically and romantically. Diana, confiding in Foster, shared her deep unhappiness in her marriage and her belief that Prince Charles was still in love with Camilla Parker Bowles.
Over the following weeks, while Foster was in London for work, his relationship with Diana intensified. He asserts that their relationship culminated in a sexual encounter during one of Diana's rare nights away from her royal duties. For reasons that are evident, Diana did not disclose the affair to anyone, and the relationship, though brief, left a significant impact on both parties. It ended amicably, with Diana returning to her role as Princess of Wales. Foster kept this secret for over 30 years, not wishing to cause embarrassment to Diana or the royal family. However, after considerable soul-searching and with Prince Charles now ascended to the throne, Foster felt compelled to reveal the truth about what transpired all those years ago.
The most shocking aspect of Foster's story lies in the potential implications of the affair. Foster claims that, upon reflecting on the timeline, there is a possibility that he could be the biological father of Prince Harry, who was born in 1984. This allegation has sparked a massive scandal, met with intense skepticism from royal experts and the media alike. However, Foster was so convinced of his claim that he offered to take a DNA test to compare his genetic material with that of Prince Harry. Although Prince Harry did not consent to the test, Foster managed to obtain an old water bottle discarded by Harry during a recent trip to California. A private DNA lab conducted a paternity test, comparing the DNA from the bottle to Foster's. The results, which have since been released, indicate a 99.9% probability that David Foster, not King Charles, is Prince Harry's biological father.
The fallout from this revelation has been nothing short of chaotic. King Charles has vehemently denied the claims and expressed outrage over the illegal paternity test. Nonetheless, doubt has been cast over his long-standing role as Harry's father, and the royal family is reportedly scrambling to manage the crisis as the scandal spreads worldwide. Insiders close to the situation describe the situation as a bombshell that has rocked the monarchy to its core. If true, the revelation not only questions Harry's legitimacy but also any future succession involving him. Charles, reportedly devastated by the news, has always considered himself Harry's father, and the possibility of losing that identity would be emotionally devastating. The impact on Harry, who has grown up as the son of the future king, would be equally shattering.
The palace has reportedly gone into full defense mode, aiming to discredit Foster's claims by any means necessary. However, the fact remains that the DNA test points to a profound betrayal and deception at the highest levels of the royal family. This scandal may prove impossible to cover up, leading to a significant constitutional crisis for the monarchy, with its very legitimacy being called into question.
Given the seriousness of the allegations, it is worth examining the timeline and context in more depth. It is well-documented that Diana and Charles's marriage was in serious trouble by the early 1980s, with numerous books and documentaries highlighting their disconnect and Camilla Parker Bowles' continued presence in Charles's life. An extramarital affair on Diana's part would not be entirely surprising given these circumstances. Foster claims that he and Diana connected in mid-1985, around the time of Harry's conception in late 1984 or early 1985. During this period, Charles was openly continuing his affair with Camilla, even bringing her as his guest to a royal polo match just months before Harry's birth. This situation could have driven Diana to seek comfort elsewhere.
Foster's account aligns with known facts about the troubled state of Diana and Charles's marriage. Importantly, Foster has no apparent political motives or desire for fame, given his status as a respected musician now in his 70s. The secrecy maintained by both Diana and Foster about their affair further adds credibility to his story. If this was merely a one-off indiscretion, why would they have kept it so secretive for decades unless there were deeper reasons, such as the true paternity of Diana's second son?
There are also questions surrounding the official narrative of Harry's birth. We are told that Harry was born via emergency C-section on January 15, 1984, at the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in London. However, hospital records from that time are scarce or contain confusing anomalies. Additionally, it is known that Charles was living separately at Highgrove for much of 1984, further complicating the timeline of Harry's conception.
These revelations raise many questions and could lead to even more scandalous discoveries as the truth comes to light. The implications for the British monarchy are profound, potentially reshaping the future of the royal family and the line of succession. As this story unfolds, the world will be watching closely to see how the royal family handles what could be one of the most significant crises in its history.
